WARNING
Read the Operator’s manual. Know location and functions
of all controls. Keep all safety devices and shields in place.
Never allow children or uninstructed adults to operate the
blower. Keep bystanders away from machine. Keep away
from the fan intake opening and discharge chute, as the fan
is rotating and can cause severe injury.
• Blowing leaves is best performed when conditions are dry.
• To clear a very large and/or heavy pile of leaves, make
two passes: First point the directional adjustment upward
to move the top of the pile. Then point the directional
adjustment downward to move the base of the pile.
• When clearing leaves, always pay attention to natural
wind direction and blow the leaves the same direction as
the natural wind.
• To clear a small area, corral the leaves in the center by
circling several times around the perimeter of the area.
• To clear a large area, move the leaves from one side to
the other by making back and forth passes.
• Before starting a cleaning project, plan how the leaves will
be collected and disposed.
